What to Do After a Car Accident

Helpful Tips from a Clearwater Car Accident Lawyer

If you were involved in a car accident, it is important that you take the
right steps. If you were not the one responsible for the accident, it
is especially imperative that you document the accident and secure the
necessary legal representation so that you get the damages owed to you. After a
car accident, you should take the following steps:

Call 911: People involved in car accidents should call 911 to report the accident
and notify emergency medical services, especially in accidents that cause injuries.

Move cars to a safe place: If possible, move your car over to a safe place away from traffic to avoid
further accidents.

Turn on your vehicle's hazard lights: Hazard lights notify other drivers that you are in distress. This is especially
important in accidents that happen at night.

Seek medical attention: If you have not yet done so, seek medical attention - even if you do not
think you were hurt.

Get a copy of the accident report: Take note of the accident report number and where/how you can obtain a
copy of the report

Take pictures: Take pictures of the accident scene (before the cars are moved). You will
want to include shots of road damage and damage done to the cars involved.
